A Beautiful & Highly Detailed Woodcut - 1866

THE GIRL.
Mother, in her rich carriage
By six horses driven at a walk,
What a divine creature!
She is our queen; yes, is not it? THE MOTHER.
Never the queen, whom one forsakes,
Had, my daughter, an impudent luxury.
Shame on this crazy beauty!
Of the king it is only the mistress.

The Fine Print

International buyers are responsible for all import fees and taxes. Shipping costs: My shipping costs are calculated on three factors - getting your item to you as quickly as possible, as cost effectively as possible, and as safely as possible. I pride myself in providing optimal protection. I use First Class or Priority Mail on most small items; Parcel Post on larger items; and Media Mail on books and magazines. You may request expedited shipment if you are willing to pay costs. P/H is combined on multiple prints mailed at the same time. Please make your purchases from my sales or store. I will send a combined invoice reflecting your savings. The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
